Member of Technical Staff (ML)

Samaya AI is building knowledge discovery tools for domain experts using AI and Large Language Models. Our platform enables users to answer complex questions and uncover hidden insights from large sets of knowledge-intensive documents.

Founded by Maithra Raghu (formerly at Google Brain) and Fabio Petroni (formerly at Meta AI), Samaya AI has incredible firepower in terms of researchers, engineers, and developers with a breadth of AI experience, including Stanford, Meta AI, Google, Microsoft, and more. 

Members of our technical staff develop and deploy large-scale language models (LLMs) which power our knowledge discovery platform. In close collaboration with our other team members, you will build, maintain, and evaluate the core ML components of our knowledge discovery pipelines. Potential skills include: data curation, model training, evaluation, inference optimization, scalable deployment, and research in new ML methods. We are actively accepting applications for future consideration.
